I'm not sure that multiple filesets in a single copy task is much better than multiple copy tasks. If we did decide to allow multiple filestets on the copy task should it also be enabled for every task that uses filesets ?

Yes, that would work for the example I sent (I thought about your recent posts after I sent my email). After sending, I realized that the refactoring I was doing also needed to do something like this (for which I don't think the redefining modification is enough):
<copy todir="\foo\one"> <fileset refid="common.files" /> <fileset refid="less.common.files" /> </copy>
<copy todir="\foo\two"> <fileset refid="common.files" /> <fileset refid="other.common.files" /> </copy>
<copy todir="\foo\two"> <fileset refid="other.common.files" /> <fileset refid="less.common.files" /> </copy>
(etc)
In short, I have somewhere between 3 and 5 discrete blocks of assemblies that have to be copied to something like 10 different directories, in various combinations that make it impossible (as far as I can see) to get rid of the redundancy with single filesets.
Unless, the new mods support multiple refid's? (that would remove the need for multiple fileets -- at least in my case). E.g.:
<copy todir="\foo\two">
<fileset refid="common.files" refid="other.common.files" mode="append" />
</copy>
or perhaps:
<copy todir="\foo\two" mode="append" > <fileset> <refid>common.files</refid> <refid>other.common.files</refid> </fileset> </copy>
If not (and I am assuming not, from what I've seen so far), I would be interested in people's opinions on the preferred way -- multiple refid's or multiple filesets (or both, or something else)?
Best, Bill
